The new Birdcage project is completed and ready for the upcoming season. During the early winter, visitors will remain toasty and warm inside as the snow and wind blows beyond the double door alcove entry. When the days grow longer, the new wrap-around deck will be a great place to hang out when the sun shines and the snow softens. We look forward to enjoying this classic mid-mountain lodge thanks to the generosity of donors who funded this work. Thank you!

A heartfelt thank you to Mad River Glen’s loyal shareholders! In May, we asked the shareholders to step up and support the Preserve Our Paradise campaign with a $150,000 dollar-for-dollar match program. We passed that goal in late September, and managed to raise an extra $25,000 in matching funds to keep the program going through Green and Gold weekend.

The final tally was $178,961 in contributions from 146 shareholders! Mad River Glen’s shareholders are truly a special group and have demonstrated once again why this is such a wonderful community. Our grateful thanks to everyone who helped us surpass our goal!

The Birdcage deck is progressing, as is the foliage, in anticipation of Mad River’s upcoming Green & Gold weekend Oct 6-7. Come on up and see how all the generous donations to the campaign have gotten the mountain in fantastic shape for the upcoming season!

Only two weeks are left for shareholders to double their donations to the Preserve Our Paradise Campaign! Gifts can be pledged over a four-year period. We've secured $150,000 in matching funds to support this initiative, and already raised $130,000 towards the match. Let's show support for our mountain by raising the final $20,000 in the next two weeks! To donate, visit www.preservemadriver.com/shareholder no later than October 6.

The new deck on the Birdcage is taking shape! The deck has been framed and mostly covered. Still to come are the railing, new stairs, and the energy efficient entrance. We’ll keep you posted on the progress of this exciting project!
